A 83 year old man tried to escape from the police earlier today, and after crashing into a police car he ended up crashing into a house. 83 years old!!! How strange is that?? And it all happened just a few blocks away from where we live…

Yesterday we went out to eat at Mother India, then we stopped by Skedsmo’s at Bislett before we went home at about midnight. When at home I turned on the television and we started watching a show called something like “Top Grammy Performances”. The list had 25 performances, all from Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin singing opera and on second place it was Celin Dion with the Titanic theme song. When they had counted down to second place I guess the time was about 01.30, and Elin was very tired, but she wanted to know who was on first place so she managed. And then…they revealed who won: Green Day with their American Idiot performance. I rolled on the floor laughing, because Green Day is clearly on of top five bands to hate according to Elin, and especially the song American Idiot. She was furious, having stayed up so long, just to get to hear them…
Some of the other performances are listed here http://hubpages.com/hub/Grammy-Performances, Eminem and Elton John and the performance by Eric Clapton singing Tears in Heaven dedicated to his son. So you might understand why we where a bit surprised that Green Day won, not that it did matter to me, I like them, but Elin…need not say more 🙂

Today I went down to Fotovideo and bought a new camera, a Canon 400D. Together with the camera I also bought a EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=152&modelid=7307 The pictures I can take with that lens are unbelievable compared to my old compact camera. I first thought of buying a blitz, but I’m very pleased with the advice from the guy at the shop that convinced me to buy the lens instead.
Got it from Lars Tormod. At least for us who speaks Norwegian, these names are kinda funny http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT….
This guy should obviously have watched The Muppet Show a bit more in his childhood years

[video:youtube:qVWuAyWWuAU]Freddy dos Santos just won 10.000 NOK for being the best player of the match. He donated all the money to Amnesty http://www.amnesty.no/web.nsf/pages/D10DA743F3FF7E82C125740300501CBD Good to know that there are some guys with common sense playing soccer.
According to the article http://www.dagbladet.no/dinside/2008/03/05/528825.html we might in the future see a decrease of the weight we are allowed to bring with us when traveling with planes.
I suggest we start weighing in the total weight of both the passenger and the luggage instead. Anything above 110 kilo will be overweight…that would make some people get rid of some fat
You might already have seen what happens if you put Mentos in Coke, but ever wondered what happens if you put in beer, especially Carlsberg?
[video:youtube:MAcc8CPhlO4]You don’t need much knowledge to get many correct answers, just answer the opposite of what can be considered common sense in our part of the world at least, that should give you a good score http://crime.about.com/library/blgunquiz_tx.htm
Why did I do a search for Texas Gun Laws? I read this article about the grandma in Texas threatening a Danish journalist with a gun because he came to close to her house http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/artikkel.php?artid=504230 I would not state that Texas is my preferred place to go on vacation.
